Product Review - Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers
Category Product Review Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers
While I was off at Lotusphere, one of my Vine review packages got delivered... It's the Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers, and I finally got a chance to hook them up and take them for a spin. In short, I'm impressed...
Once you take them out of the package, you're only about two minutes away from ditching the sound from your normal laptop speakers. You plug in the speakers to a power source, attach the USB plug into one of your laptop ports, and that's it. The speakers on the side slide in and out to adapt to the width of your laptop screen, so you don't have to worry about multiple components finding a place on your desk. There's an extension stand you can clip on the back in order to place your webcam at eye level as part of your whole speaker system. Volume knob is on the side of the right speaker, and it's absolutely no problem to adjust the sound to meet your needs.
A nice touch is the additional USB ports that come on the speaker unit. Since you have to take up one of your laptop ports for the speaker, the other alternative would be to get a small USB port of some sort. But fortunately, you have three more ports once you plug in the speakers. In some ways, you can almost treat this unit as a laptop docking station when it comes to having all your peripherals plugged in. When you leave and come back, just plug in the USB speaker ports, and you'll have everything back for your desktop configuration.
Of course, the important thing in a speaker system is sound. And this unit has it. The side speakers deliver clear, crisp sound rivaling most desktop speaker systems you'd normally use. Add in the base coming out of the center unit, and you have a system that will make your music and games sound like you're right there.
There are some gadgets that I get that don't become part of my normal daily workflow. The Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers will avoid that fate, as I've got the space cleared off on my desk and there's no reason to have to move it. Now I can use my laptop as a music system while I'm using my desktop for real work. Can't beat a setup like that...
